This paper investigates the process by which a cohort of males accumulate human capital via formal education and labor market participation. I use all available annual waves of the 1979 youth cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience (NLSY79) to estimate a dynamic...

This paper investigates identification and estimation of a class of nonlinear panel data, single-index models. The model allows for unknown time-specific link functions, and semiparametric specification of the individual-specific effects. We develop an estimator for the parameters of interest,...

This paper investigates identification and root-n-consistent estimation of a class of single-index panel data models in which the link function is unknown, the unobserved individual effects may be correlated with all the explanatory variables, and all the explanatory variables may be...

An increasing number of longitudinal data sets collect expectations information regarding a variety of future individual level events and decisions, providing researchers with the opportunity to explore expectations over micro variables in detail. We present a theoretical framework and an...
